How to Evolve Eevee in Pokemon Go

How to Evolve Eevee in Pokemon Go

Evolving Eevee in Pokemon Go is a little different than in the traditional video games. The evolutions are very simple, but from some testing, it only seems to work the first time you evolve your Eevee into that specific evolution.

I found out by trying to evolve a second Vaporeon but ended up with a Flareon named Rainer.

So, we are going to make this article a short one and get to the point. Once you have enough Eevee candy to evolve your Eevee, you just need to rename your Eevee according to the list below. Be mindful to evolve the Eevee you want to use for battle.

Me for instance, I like XL Eevees with decent appraises, like good defense or good attack.

Also, don’t use all lower-case letters. The first letter needs to be capitalized in order for the evolution to work.

Eevee is super adorable!

List of How to Evolve Eevee

For Flareon, name your Eevee Pyro

For Jolteon, name your Eevee Sparky

For Vaporeon, name your Eevee Rainer

For Espeon, name your Eevee Sakura

For Umbreon, name your Eevee Tamao

When you’ve finished renaming your Eevee, exit the Pokemon GO app completely and re-launch it to make sure the name registers to the game’s servers.

Once the Pokémon GO app is open, enter the Pokemon menu, find your renamed Eevee, and hit “Evolve” to meet your new and improved Eevee.

Eevee has received a few new additions to its evolution roster over the years through all of the Pokemon games, with grass, ice, and fairy types being added recently. there are actually 8 Eevee evolutions within the Pokemon franchise at this point. Unfortunately, you can’t get Sylveon, Leafeon, or Glaceon in Pokemon Go just yet. As more Evolutions of Eevee are introduced into Pokemon Go, we will update this page.
